I wanted to incorporate a facet of petits métiers that related back to my life, and the winning category was employees that worked with sugar on campus. From BYU ice cream to BYU brownies, sugar on campus has been a support to me these last four years of college, and without our dear workers, college would have been much different.
From the vantage point of the viewer, the hand reaches for the fudge and extends out of the picture. The worker embraces every quality one would think of a candy worker: bright disposition, colorful attire, and all the goodness that working around candy entails
There is a multi-generation love for sugar that is shown in this photo: young college student working a minimum-wage job, an old man satisfying an endless sweet tooth, and middle-schoolers looking for a quick-fix.
I like the third one at the Creamery. Like you said, it's cool having all the people of different ages, and I like the composition, too. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about why you chose sepia for some of these shots...
ReplyDeleteI love the jelly bean picture...not a fan of the sepia
ReplyDeleteI really like the jelly bean picture, but I think my favorite one is at the Creamery. I love the interaction with all of the people in line, especially the girl who is looking at the camera.
ReplyDeleteI liked the first image the best because it focuses the most on the individual instead of the candy or store. Some of the other images focus too much on the feel of the environment when it should capture the worker.
ReplyDeletePhotos 3 and 4 are my favorite. You'd have greater continuity in your photos keep the theme of smiling people throughout.
